We can break the two words "matt black" down
Matt- Matt is dissimilar to a shiny surface. This means that whereas a shiny surface is smooth and flat a matt surface is full of cavities (tiny holes or dips, like a cavity of a tooth). When a radiation ray hits the solar panel it is absorbed but partly reflected. If a solar panel is matt a ray which hit a cavity can be absorbed, but any part that is reflected hits another point in the cavity and can then be absorbed, this may happen several times until the radiation that hasn't been absorbed is reflected out of the cavity. Overall the matt surface allows parts of the ray that have not been reflected to hit another point and be partly absorbed again.
Black- Solar panels are painted matt black because radiation (infrared) is absorbed better by a dark surface i.e. black than a light coloured surface.
Therefore a solar panel being "matt black" enables maximum absorption and in effect higher amounts of energy can be taken from the suns heat and turned into electricity than that which could be with a light and shiny surface. This results in minimising the need for fossil fuels.
Solar hot water panels have a matt black surface because black surfaces absorb more sunlight and convert it into heat more efficiently than other colors. The dark color allows the panel to absorb more of the sun's energy, maximizing the heating capacity of the system.
A transparent cover is better for a solar heating panel as it allows more sunlight to pass through and be absorbed by the black base, maximizing heat absorption. A matte black base is preferred as it is better at absorbing and retaining heat compared to a shiny base, which may reflect some of the sunlight away.
black cools quickest because the heat goes straight through it but white reflects so if you had two really thick sheets of metal one Matt black and the other shiny white put heat on them then cut them in half, the middle of the black one will be hot but the middle of the white one won't because the heat is going through the black
It is a color that we simply cannot perceive. It can't be described using any existing colors, because if it manifested even partially as a known color, we would be able to see it. Even if it were "Red and a color we're not familiar with", we would still see the red, and we cannot.

yes ;)
black
i guess....his nu girlfriend is black
It the surface is a matt black, then no. A glossy black surface may reflect a little.
Matt and Andy are best friends.
